I\u2019m going to go out on a limb and guess that you would like softer, smoother skin right about now?\u00a0 No, I am not psychic.\u00a0 We all<\/em> are looking for dry, rough skin remedies this time of year.<\/p>\n

Months of indoor heating, cold temps, and moisture sapping winds can really do a number on healthy skin.\u00a0 If you find you\u2019ve lost your luster, read on.<\/p>\n

Simple steps to smoother skin<\/h3>\n

Exfoliate\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Dry dead skin cells accumulate on top of skin, causing itchiness and sallow complexion.\u00a0 Slough them away with a good scrub.\u00a0 I am using Ennecence SpaEscape Sugar Scrub<\/a>.\u00a0 It is made with raw sugar and a bunch of natural oils, so it sloughs and moisturizes.\u00a0 Smells great too.\u00a0 I even use this on my face (gently) and then follow up with my regular cleanser.\u00a0 Twice a week is best for smooth skin.\u00a0 If you are in the mood to try some DIY exfoliators, check out this article on Natural Exfoliators<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Wash Gently\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0 For face I like Oy! Cleanse & Moisturize<\/a>.\u00a0 For body it is hard to beat Weleda Pomegranate Creamy Body Wash <\/a>\u2013 creamy, luxe and smells sooo good.\u00a0 Works great as a shaving gel too.\u00a0 Weleda recently sent me their new Pomegranate line to try\u00a0and I love it.\u00a0 Read more in my post on Organic Beauty Source<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Moisturize + Protect<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 In the winter I like to double up on my moisturizers.\u00a0 A rich lotion or balm to hydrate, then a layer of oil for protection and to seal in moisture.\u00a0 On face try dabbing Oblige’ Rosehip Fusion \u2013 Blue <\/a>over your usual moisturizer.\u00a0 Rosehip oil is very gentle and gives skin a little glow.\u00a0 It also helps to reduce any spots or uneven skin tone.\u00a0 On body I am loving Weleda Pomegranate Regenerating Body Oil<\/a>.\u00a0 Add a layer over their Pomegranate Regenerating Body Lotion <\/a>and skin will stay hydrated (and itch-free) all day long.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll be spring ready in no time.<\/p>\n
